SECTION 10 – PERIODIC MAINTENANCE GENERAL INFORMATION See General Warning on page 1-1. To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive mainte- nance program (regularly scheduled service). Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehi- cle down-time and expensive repairs that result from neglect.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Periodic Service Schedules PERIODIC SERVICE SCHEDULE – ELECTRIC VEHICLES REGULAR INTERVAL SERVICE Daily service by owner Batteries Charge batteries (after each use only). Check electrolyte level. Add water if Weekly service by owner Batteries necessary. See page 20-3. Monthly service by owner Wash battery tops and clean terminals Batteries...

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Periodic Service Schedules PERIODIC SERVICE SCHEDULE – GASOLINE VEHICLES REGULAR INTERVAL SERVICE Monthly service by owner Check engine oil level; change if or trained technician necessary. See Periodic Lubrication Schedules on page 10-4. Check engine cooling air intake; clean if Engine necessary.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Batteries – Electric Vehicles BATTERIES – ELECTRIC VEHICLES See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. ý DANGER • Battery – Explosive gases! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the vehicle and service area. Ventilate when charging or operating vehicle in an enclosed area. Wear a full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries..
When inserting the DC plug, align the raised guide on the plug with the guide slot in the receptacle and push straight in slowly. Club Car battery chargers interact with the vehicle onboard computer. The computer records the amount of energy consumed during vehicle use. While the charger is plugged in, the vehicle’s control circuit is locked out, preventing operation of the vehicle as well as the possibility of consequent damage to the charger and the vehicle.
Figure 10-4 Correct Insertion of Charger DC Plug Figure 10-5 Incorrect Insertion of Charger DC Plug Club Car electric vehicles are supplied with a PowerDrive 2 battery charger (CCI P/N 101802204). Use Pow- erDrive 2 chargers with this electric vehicle.
WARNING • Do not jump start a dead battery using another battery and jumper cables. The battery in the Club Car gasoline vehicle is a 12-volt, low maintenance battery that requires infrequent watering (Figure 10-7). Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) per gallon (3.8 L) of water).
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Engine Oil – Gasoline Vehicles Full Level Safe Level Level Figure 10-9 Engine Oil Level Check ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE Engine oil and oil filter should be changed after the first 100 hours of operation. After that, they should be changed every 200 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.
This will help seal the filter to the oil mounting bracket. NOTE: Use only Club Car oil filters (CCI P/N 1016467) designed for this engine. 12. Tighten the oil filter by hand until tight. Do not use a band wrench or channel lock pliers to tighten.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS: ELECTRIC VEHICLE Battery Warning Light PIN 9 DIODE See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. Testing the Pin 9 Diode See Test Procedure 9F, Section 18, Page 18-25. If the pin 9 diode has failed open, it should be removed from the harness. Instead of replacing the diode with a new one, we recommend installing a Main Dropout Harness (CCI P/N 102355201) between the Tow/Run switch and the wire harness.
SECTION 20 – BATTERIES: ELECTRIC VEHICLES ý DANGER • See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. ý WARNING • See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. ý DANGER • Battery – Explosive gases! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the vehicle and service area.
BATTERIES: ELECTRIC VEHICLES Battery Care Battery Replacement, Continued: 1. Before removing batteries, note the orientation of the batteries and the connecting wires. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in General Warn- ing, Section 1, Page 1-1. Remove remaining wires and batteries. See Wiring Diagram, Section 18, Page 18-2.
BATTERIES: ELECTRIC VEHICLES Battery Care 2. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat- teries.
BATTERIES: ELECTRIC VEHICLES Battery Charger Electrolyte Level, Continued: The electrolyte level should be checked weekly to be sure electrolyte is at its proper level (Figure 20-2, Page 20-3). Never allow the electrolyte level to fall below the tops of the plates because this will cause the exposed part of the plate to become permanently inactive.
BATTERIES: ELECTRIC VEHICLES Battery Charger CHARGER SHUTS OFF AFTER 16 HOURS This may be due to 1) new batteries, 2) hard use, or 3) cold temperatures. A catch-up charge may be neces- sary when these conditions are present. On those days when all or some of the vehicles do not get used, check the batteries for state of charge.
BATTERIES: ELECTRIC VEHICLES Battery Troubleshooting Chart BATTERY TROUBLESHOOTING CHART Vehicle not operating to expectation. Fully Charge Batteries. Battery Charger Test Reading of 6 amps or more. Reading below 6 amps and on-charge voltage above 56 volts. Check electrical system and charger for problems.
BATTERIES: ELECTRIC VEHICLES Battery Testing BATTERY TESTING See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. Four tests have been developed to help diagnose problems with batteries that have not performed as expected. Because each test becomes progressively more detailed and time-consuming, begin with the first test and follow through with the other tests until the problem has been identified as outlined in the Battery Troubleshooting Chart (Figure 20-3, Page 20-6).
